Digicel Jamaica announced in a release on Tuesday that Jabbor Kayumov, the CEO of the telecommunications company is stepping down from his post.
According to the company, Kayumov placed an even greater emphasis on value and considerable network expansions and service upgrades, all of which translated into better performance and a better client experience.
Stephen Murad will replace him.
Kayumov joined Digicel as CEO of Digicel Trinidad & Tobago in June 2018. During his two-and-a-half-years there, followed by two-plus years as CEO of Digicel Jamaica, Kayumov was able to offer benefits for both consumer and business customers in the shape of new products and services.
Oliver Coughlan, CEO of Digicel Group, commented on the transition and bid farewell to Jabbor Kayumov while welcoming Stephen Murad.
“With the Digicel Jamaica business going from strength to strength and our highly skilled teams dedicated, motivated, and delivering excellent outcomes for our customers and our communities, Jabbor has much to be proud of. As we say farewell to him and wish him well in his new adventure with his family in Dubai, I would like to thank him most sincerely.”
In welcoming Murad, Coughlan said: “I am confident that Stephen will build on the great work that Jabbor has done and that customers will continue to enjoy and benefit from the best service, network, and value promise that we are always laser-focused on delivering for them. Stephen is an engaged and empathetic leader and a standout performer – and even better, he loves Jamaica. He is raring to go and we are excited to welcome him to the Jamaica team.”
Murad, a long-time leader at the company, has worked with Digicel in the Caribbean for eight years, serving in various senior commercial roles for the Digicel group in Jamaica, and also serving in CEO roles for the firm at the regional, Turks and Caicos, and Bermuda levels.
